Hey @amazon, looks like there's some more employees you forgot to apologize to.

Alternatively, you could just listen to your workers and treat them with the dignity & respect they deserve. https://t.co/Gevr5uwmYL

Amazon illegally retaliated against two prominent internal critics, Emily Cunningham and Maren Costa, when it fired them last year, the National Labor Relations Board said. They had raised concerns about Amazon's impact on climate and warehouse conditions. https://t.co/0wnirMm0tW

It's been almost one year since @Amazon started retaliating against workers who spoke out.

It shouldn't be this hard to unite in a union. This is why we need to rewrite the rules to protect our right to a voice on the job. https://t.co/RZUk8inWpU

Labor laws are going to be key which is why Amazon is advertising about regulation of everything else

And again the racism isn’t incidental and keeps being left out https://t.co/x6iIde6A1w
When the wealthiest, highest-profile tech companies blatantly and repeatedly violate labor laws, we know it is time to strengthen and modernize those laws. https://t.co/KDONvas8Mw

"At its heart, the conflict is about control. To maintain Day 1, the company needs to lower labor costs and increase productivity, which requires measuring & tweaking every moment of a worker’s existence." Good @DavidStreitfeld on Amazon's labor reckoning: https://t.co/8WYKe8TpjD

In 2021, all workers deserve the right to earn a living and organize a union without getting fired or interrogated for speaking out. #UnionsForAll #ProtectAllWorkers https://t.co/z2TSHrluzD

There’s a struggle at Amazon that is, at its heart, about control, @DavidStreitfeld writes. It’s been most visible in Alabama, where warehouse workers have voted on whether to form a union. If it gains a foothold, it will be the first in Amazon’s history. https://t.co/lzQko0iBlP pic.twitter.com/IUkw8qZFQa

Amazon has long faced official complaints about its bathroom policies at its corporate offices and warehouses. A heated discussion about whether Amazon’s workers must urinate in bottles because they have no time to go to the bathroom has raged online. https://t.co/lzQko0iBlP
— The New York Times (@nytimes) April 5, 2021
The challenge to Amazon’s Day 1 strategy is not only in Alabama, but in the form of lawsuits, restive workers at other warehouses, Congressional oversight, scrutiny from labor regulators and, most noisily, on Twitter. https://t.co/lzQko0iBlP pic.twitter.com/r3zRibqNLd
— The New York Times (@nytimes) April 5, 2021
“Day 1” is Amazon shorthand for its start-up mentality — underdogs against the world. The approach has been good for Amazon’s shoppers and shareholders, but holds less appeal for some employees, especially drivers and those who work in its warehouses. https://t.co/lzQko0iBlP
— The New York Times (@nytimes) April 5, 2021
"A spokesman for the Department of Labor and Industries declined to comment, except to note that outside of Amazon, 'We really don’t get a lot of bathroom-related complaints.'"
— Alphabet Workers Union (@AlphabetWorkers) April 5, 2021
This can't be what tech has become, leading the way on bathroom complaints.https://t.co/dSuI9J1G4q
Amazon did not have a comment for this article, but the first thing it mentions in its official statement on the Alabama warehouse is the starting pay — $15.30/hour, double the federal minimum wage.

The @NLRB has reportedly found merit that Amazon illegally retaliated against two more workers who spoke out about warehouse safety conditions. What we're seeing looks like a company-wide pattern of violating workers’ rights – and NLRB should investigate. https://t.co/2kUEdEyeKV
